Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a MgO vapor deposition material which forms a MgO film used as a protective film of an AC type plasma display panel. More specifically, the present invention relates to a MgO film which has good responsibility over a wide temperature range, and a MgO vapor deposition material which can be used to form a plasma display panel using the same.
  • This application claims priority on Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-206623 filed on July 14, 2004 , Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-272720 filed on September 21, 2004 , Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-379090 filed on December 28, 2004 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-117719 filed on April 15, 2005 , the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
  • PDP full-color plasma display panels
  • the protective film makes direct contact with the discharge gas, and therefore plays important roles.
  • the protective film is required to have (1) low discharge voltage, (2) resistance to sputtering during discharge, (3) quick discharge responsibility, and (4) insulation property. MgO meets these requirements and is accordingly used to form the protective film.
  • the protective film formed from MgO protects the surface of the dielectric glass layer from sputtering during discharge, and is critical for ensuring the long service life of the PDP.
  • the black noise refers to such a defect of display panel that a cell to be lit (selected cell) does not light up. It is known that the black noise tends to occur in the border between a region to be lit and a region to remain dark. This defect does not occur in such a manner as all the cells in one line or in one row do not light up, but occurs at dispersed cells. Therefore, the black noise is believed to occur due to failure of addressed discharge or, if addressed discharge does occur, error in addressing due to low intensity.
  • such a PDP system uses a protective film against sputtering constituted from MgO film which is formed by a vacuum film forming method so as to contain Si with the concentration in a range from 500 to 10,000 ppm by weight (refer to, for example, Japanese Patent No. 3,247,632 ).
  • a protective film against sputtering constituted from MgO film which is formed by a vacuum film forming method so as to contain Si with the concentration in a range from 500 to 10,000 ppm by weight
  • Japanese Patent No. 3,247,632 According to Japanese Patent No. 3,247,632 , addressing error that causes the black noise can be suppressed from occurring, by containing Si in the MgO film with the concentration described above.
  • Such a PDP system has also been disclosed that uses a protective film against sputtering constituted from MgO film which is formed to contain Si with the concentration in a range from 1,000 to 40,000 ppm by weight by pyrolysis of a fatty acid salt (refer to, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 2001-110321 ).
  • a trace component in the MgO film formed by pyrolysis of the fatty acid salt improves the electrical property so that the discharge of secondary electrons increases to compensate for the decrease in the effective voltage due to residual charge.
  • residual charge itself quickly diminishes, so as to suppress the addressing error that causes the black noise.
  • Japanese Patent No. 3,247,632 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 2001-110321 , A. Seguin, L. Tessier, H. Doyeux and S. Salavin, "Measurement of Addressing Speed in Plasma Display Devices.”, IDW'99, p699-702 , and R. Ganter, Th. Callegari, N. Posseme, B. Caillier and J. P. Boeuf, "Photoemission in Plasma Display Panel Discharge Cells", IDW'00, p731-734 make no mention of temperature as the condition for evaluating the responsibility. It is supposed that the responsibility is evaluated at temperatures near the room temperature in these documents.
  • the temperatures at which the PDP operation is guaranteed vary greatly by the manufacture from 0°C or even -15°C at the lowest to 70°C or even 90°C at the highest.

  • test substrates were produced. Specifically, first, a discharge gap of 80 ⁇ m was formed using an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode and a MgO film was formed on a dielectric, and then the glass substrate was used as a front glass substrate. Then, a rear glass substrate with a barrier plate (rib) having a height of 150 ⁇ m and a pitch of 360 ⁇ m formed thereon was prepared. The rear glass substrate and the front glass substrate were disposed so as to face with each other. An Ne-4% Xe mixed gas as a discharge gas was injected into the discharge space formed by the front glass substrate, the rear glass substrate and the barrier plate.
  • ITO indium tin oxide
  • rib barrier plate
  • test substrate Using the test substrate thus obtained, a pseudo address discharge test under temperature conditions of -20°C, 30°C and 90°C, namely, a counter discharge test between two glass substrates was performed.
  • Test conditions are as follows: discharge gas pressure of 500 Torr, applied voltage of 200 V and frequency of 1 kHz. The test was performed under these conditions and near infrared ray emitted by discharge was detected by a photoelectric multiplier, and then the time required from the application of the voltage to the completion of light emission was evaluated as the response time. This response time include unevenness of statistic light emission.
  • Table 1 and Table 2 The test results are shown in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively.
  • Comparative Example 2 in which the concentration of Y is more than the concentration range defined in the present invention, Comparative Example 3 in which the concentration of La is more than the concentration range defined in the present invention, Comparative Example 4 in which the concentration of Ce is more than the concentration range defined in the present invention, Comparative Example 5 in which the concentration of Pr is more than the concentration range defined in the present invention, Comparative Example 6 in which the concentration of Nd is more than the concentration range defined in the present invention, Comparative Example 7 in which the concentration of Pm is more than the concentration range defined in the present invention, and Comparative Example 8 in which the concentration of Sm is more than the concentration range defined in the present invention, the discharge response time increased in all temperature ranges.
  • Example 18 in which a predetermined about of Y and La were added in the concentration range defined in the present invention, Example 19 in which a predetermined about of Ce and Sc were added in the concentration range defined in the present invention, Example 20 in which a predetermined about of La and Sc were added in the concentration range defined in the present invention, Example 21 in which a predetermined about of La and Si were added in the concentration range defined in the present invention, and Example 22 in which a predetermined about of La, Ca and Fe were added in the concentration range defined in the present invention, the discharge response time decreased over a wide temperature range.
